New microbrewery Narrow Gauge Brewing Company is coming soon to Florissant. Set for production to begin this spring, the brewery will be hosted by Cugino’s Italian Bar & Grill. As reported by Sauce, co-owners Ben Goldkamp, Dave Beckham and brewer Jeff Hardesty, the beers produced will be exclusively offered from the restaurant—which will undergo a transformation to make space for brewing and a tasting room. 1595 N.
